Fabio Capello's list of the best players in the world makes interesting reading.

'But if you're speaking of goalscoring and finishing, then it is Ronaldo. He can score from free-kicks, with his head, from open play. One is an absolute genius, the other a goalscoring genius.'
When it came to the best goalkeeper in the world, Capello's list included Iker Casillas, Petr Cech and Gianluigi Buffon but, predictably, no mention of any English keepers.
